Bright central home with private terrace near Kensington Gardens.
Large 919 sq ft two-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and period features
Set on the second floor of a handsome period building on Queen’s Gate, this well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment offers generous rooms and abundant natural light. The large reception room with tall sash windows and high ceilings creates an elegant principal living space, while a separate kitchen and private terrace add everyday practicality and outdoor access.
The principal bedroom is spacious with built-in storage; the second bedroom sits to the rear with direct terrace access and is served by a modern bathroom. The apartment’s 919 sq ft footprint and retained period character make it a rare, roomy proposition for South Kensington.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is leasehold with c.140 years remaining, mains gas boiler and radiators provide heating, and the building is solid brick (likely no cavity insulation). Service charges are above average at £6,000 pa and council tax is relatively high — factors to budget for. Recorded local crime levels are very high; purchasers should consider security and insurance implications.
This home will suit a buyer seeking spacious, characterful living in a prime central location close to Kensington Gardens, museums and excellent transport links. It presents immediate live-in comfort with scope to personalise; buyers prioritising low running costs or modern thermal performance should note the likely need for upgrading or insulating works.
